From what I've read it's totally safe to do dental work at this stage, with proper precautions. Left untreated, dental problems only get worse and can make ckd progress faster. It's also quite painful for the cat if left untreated.

My vet won’t even do GA for cleaning or extraction that is definitely needed, but my kitty (14yo) is stage three. He’s on meds to manage pain, which the vet said isn’t uncommon for elderly kitties to need for the rest of their lives.
